Entrada al Museo del Louvre con audioguía

Let me start by saying that I've been to other renowned museums and crowds were expected. The Louvre has made an effort to control the crowds, issuing timed entry tickets, but they still could do better, especially at the entrance. We came in from the metro so did not enter through the pyramid. Still, the line just to go through security was long, and while it moved quickly, there were people in line that had tickets for much more later. However, the line for the actual admission was not too bad. It is a big museum, and we got the audio guide. It was not worth the additional cost as it doesn't do a very good job of guiding you through the museum. The paper brochure highlights the best to see in each gallery. Of course, the must sees are the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. While I got to see them both, they could do a better job controlling the crowds at the Mona Lisa. As I previously said, the museum is huge, as it's composed of multiple buildings attached. If you want to see all the highlights, I'd recommend splitting your visit into two or three days as there is too much to see, and trying to see it all in one day can be overwhelming. Also, some exhibits are not open on certain days of the week, and you may see what will be closed or open on their website. Also, the map shows which days each exhibit is closed. Overall, one of the world's most impressive museums, but again, they can do a better job with the crowds.

A great place of history. I would not recommend the audioguide since it does not worth its value. I would also suggest having booked the ticket online prior to your visit and of course go there as early as possible to avoid having to stand on a queue. I went there at the opening hours so I was like the 10th person to enter the museum. You can see more when there are not that many people and of course take great pics as if you were having a private tour in the museum.

We went to Paris specifically to see this exposition that we thought would be amazing !! But it wasn't what we expected! The access is messy ,the audioguide a disappointment and the collection in general is not a real example of the work of the great da Vinci . They present four(?) paintings (Mona Lisa is not in the exposition) said to be by him and some studies and notes (most of them lent by the queen of England ). But there are nothing about the incredible studies of the human body or the drawings of the war machines ! As we have already see some works from him in Italy and in France (Amboise ) we do not feel that this exposition does justice to the works of such a man !
